Chapter 478 - Arrogant First Respectful Later Part 2
Chapter 478 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" introduces: âFive, five hundred thousand?!â Lu Xiaomanâs foster motherâs eyes widened, and she exclaimed with her... Read on to discover!
âFive, five hundred thousand?!â Lu Xiaomanâs foster motherâs eyes widened, and she exclaimed with her mouth agape.
The next moment, she snatched the jadeite Buddha back into her hands and inspected it carefully.
The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this jadeite Buddha was extraordinary, and she couldnât help but laugh happily.
Lu Xiaomanâs cheeks reddened slightly; her foster motherâs behavior embarrassed her in front of Ye Fan, but she couldnât bring herself to stop her.
At this time, Old Lu snapped out of his shock, handed the Rolex gold watch back to Ye Fan, and said, âYe, this watch is too expensive; I canât accept it.â
Before Ye Fan could speak, Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother already exclaimed, âOld Lu, what are you thinking?
This is a gift from a future son-in-law, and youâre thinking of returning it!
Are you saying you donât acknowledge Ye as our future son-in-law?â
Lu Xiaomanâs cheeks burned even hotter, and she wished she could hide in a hole.
Just a moment ago, she had looked down on Ye Fan, and now she was directly calling him son-in-law.
âThis, thisâŚâ Old Lu was a bit flustered.
Ye Fan smiled and said, âUncle, please accept it with ease.
Compared to a mere watch, Manman is more than ten thousand times more precious.â
At this time, there was a knock at the door.
It was the waiter, bringing in the food.
Lu Xiaomanâs family composed themselves.
After the waiter left and they began eating, Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother earnestly served Ye Fan a bowl of soup and picked food for him, smiling, âYe, auntie wronged you before.
I hope you donât take it to heart.
As parents, who doesnât wish for their daughter to have a good match?â
âHehe, Auntie, I understand and donât hold it against you,â Ye Fan smiled and said, âHowever, I do have one small request.â
âSay it, say it,â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother urged.
Ye Fan said, âI hope that in the future you wonât introduce any other suitors to Manman.â
âRest assured, definitely not.
That includes Junjie; I wonât let him set foot in my house anymore,â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother promised.
Although Lu Xiaoman felt a bit embarrassed in front of Ye Fan, the matter seemed to have turned out to everyoneâs satisfaction.
An hour later, after finishing the meal, Lu Xiaoman didnât leave with Ye Fan.
Instead, she drove her foster parents home.
In the car, Lu Xiaoman said, âMom, thereâs something I want to talk to you about.â
âHaha, what is it?â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother was in high spirits, sitting in the back seat carefully playing with the jadeite Buddha, âIs it about when you will marry Ye?â
Lu Xiaoman couldnât help but say, âMom, Iâve only been dating Ye Fan for a few months.â
âWhen the feelings are good, it doesnât matter how long youâve been dating.
Some young people get married after just a month,â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother said, âManman, you have to move quickly and not let other women steal Ye away.â
Ignoring her foster motherâs words, Lu Xiaoman said, âYou mustnât tell anyone about the gifts Ye Fan gave you.â
She had an unspoken sorrow; she didnât think it possible for her to marry Ye Fan and could only be his mistress.
Although willing to be Ye Fanâs mistress, she was still afraid of gossip.
If her foster mother flaunted the gifts from Ye Fan, it would be like announcing she had a wealthy boyfriend, yet they werenât marrying.
Then her status as a mistress would be exposed.
âWhy not?â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother asked.
Lu Xiaoman explained, âBecause wealth should not be flaunted.
Think about it, if youâre carrying a Buddha worth hundreds of thousands every day, and others know about it, wouldnât they try to steal it?
And even if you donât wear the Buddha on your person, keeping it at home, if others knew about it, they would still break into our house to steal it.â
âBut if we donât tell anyone, how will they know youâve found a good husband?â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother asked.
If she couldnât show off and brag about it, it was almost like suffocating her.
Having never had any face in her big half of life, now that she could finally have some, how could she not claim it back doubly?
Lu Xiaoman could only scare her by saying, âMom, do you know?
In Hua Hai city, there are more than a dozen kidnapping and murder cases every year, and the victims are all wealthy people.
Those who can pay a lot of money for ransom are considered lucky, some people are extorted for money and still get killed, the end is extremely tragic.â
Listening to this, Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother shuddered, and Old Lu interjected, âYes, what Manman said is right.
Itâs enough for us to live a good life with money, thereâs no need to tell everyone about it.â
âOkay, okay,â Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother reluctantly agreed, conceding that family safety was far more important than showing off.
She might have become very vain, but she wasnât crazy.
After sending her adoptive parents back to their apartment building, Lu Xiaoman didnât go up, but instead directly drove back to the martial arts gym.
Lu Xiaoman didnât go up, and neither did Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive parents.
âOld Lu, how much money are you carrying?â asked Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother.
Old Lu said, âFive hundred.â
âI have two thousand here; together, that should be enough,â Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother said.
Old Lu asked in confusion, âEnough for what?
What are you planning to buy?â
âSilly, of course weâre going to the jewelry store to check whether the jade Buddha is real or fake,â Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother said, âThey claimed itâs worth several hundred thousand; you just believed that?
Maybe Manman and Ye Fan are in cahoots to deceive us!â
An hour later, Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive parents walked out of a large jewelry store, Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother with a face beaming with excitement, carefully pressing her hand against her pocket, as if afraid the jade Buddha might get pickpocketed.
Back at home, Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother hid the jade Buddha well in her room, then came out and sat in the living room, saying to Old Lu, âOld Lu, from now on, if Junjie wants to visit us, we absolutely cannot let him through the door.
Otherwise, he might ruin Manman and Ye Fanâs relationship.â
âHmm, I know,â Old Lu responded.
âHumph, I approached Chen Yufen about the matter of Manman and Junjie in the past, and Chen Yufen rejected it right away.
Donât think Iâve forgotten just because two years have gone by!â Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother grumbled about past grievances.
No sooner had she finished speaking than the homeâs landline phone rang.
Without needing Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother to motion with her mouth, Old Lu consciously went to answer the phone.
After a while, Old Lu covered the mouthpiece, turned his head, and whispered, âItâs Junjie on the phone; he says he wants to come over.
He also asked if Manman is at home.â
âDonât let him come over!â Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother snapped, âTell him not to call here anymore either.â
âI, I donât know what to say,â Old Lu said.
Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother walked over, snatched the phone, and said, âJunjie, ah.â
âAunt Gui, hello,â Feng Junjie greeted, trying to please her.
Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother said, âJunjie, from now on, donât come to our place, and donât call our home either.
Manman likes Ye Fan, and your Uncle Lu and I greatly respect her wishes.
From now on, try not to get involved.â
Having said that, Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother immediately hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Feng Junjieâs face turned red and twisted, so angry that he almost smashed his phone.
Today, he had just gotten ready gifts worth several tens of thousands, planning to send them over in a bit to win over Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive parents, while also discussing ways to completely drive away Ye Fan and have Lu Xiaoman marry him.
He had never expected that less than a day later, Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive motherâs attitude would do a complete one-eighty.
